"The rings of Saturn consist of ice crystals and probably meteorite particles describing circular orbits around the planet's equator. In all likelihood these are fragments of a former moon that was too close to the planet and was destroyed by its tidal effect." -- W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn I hate epigraphs.

This book is for Ford and Slade [Morrison's sons], whom I miss although they have not left me."" The epigraph is a nice quote from "The Rose Tattoo".
